I liked the part about the color of the headlight bucket increasing the flow of air.
"TIP: Remove the headlight trim ring and paint the inside around the headlight semi-gloss black to give it a dark appearance and increase the flow of air.
So where is the Dyno Data of Before and After to back up your claims of increased power? I have never heard of a Boost/Vacuum Gauge being used to measure Horsepower.
"Update: I drove it for the first time after doing the fab/install and the Jeep seems to have a bit more power and response. I have a boost/vacuum gauge which I drive by and it certainly appeared to have a bit more power based upon the gauge on a normal trip for me."
And for the record, running in dirty conditions off road, I would be more concerned about putting Clean, dry air into the engine vs possibly perceiving the increase of a little power.
Just my 2 cents.

Who said you were promised Dyno info?
Clean dry air????? Do you see anyplace where I said I was running sans an air filter. Dry air, my air is dry, no problemo. Your 2 cents wasn't even worth that.
How can you make any real horsepower clams if you have no Data to back it up, hence the Dyno Data.
And No I donÆt see anywhere you said you would run without an air filter, but in places where it rains putting an air pick up at the front of a rig like that, with a bucket to catch the water is just going to end up with the air filter full of water. The comment about clean air had to do with the K&N I saw in the picture, and which people usually like to add to these so called cold air intakes.
Not quite sure why you have to be so derogatory when people give you feedback on your design, which if you werenÆt looking for feedback you wouldnÆt have put the design out there.

I have NEVER made any HP claims, just said it ran better based upon seat of the pants. I think I know when my Jeep runs better or not...I don't have to drop in a belch-fire V8 to figure it out.
NEVER said you could use the boost/vacuum gauge to measure HP? WTF has happen out there in Texas since I left, everybody forgot how to read and look at pics?
Feedback, you better go read the posts on here and if you call that feed back I am not a Texas boy.
You guys are just plain rude and give us real Texans a bad name...frankly I am embarrassed for this crew of folks.
Bucket to catch water, that will get into the air filter???? Where in the hell you getting this crap. Besides its far from being a sealed unit.
I hear a lot folks jumping to some wild conculsions, making claims and stating things I NEVER said either on my website or here. One guy doesn't appear to even own a Jeep <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I am a FNG here, come on make a few posts that might be of some value and at Post #1 and every one since I have got jumped on in a derogatory fashion.
Suggest some of you get out of the peanut gallery and stop being a shill.
Comments, feedback, yep, they are more than welcome, but if you boys talk trash, better go grab some guy who has NOT spent some time in the saddle. I assure you this is not my first Jeep or first Rodeo.
Now you do not like my K&N Filter sock???? Good Friggin grief, don't know a filter sock from a filter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
